The Emperor might be the most extreme example of a parasitic parasocial relationship

I have another New Year’s secret for you.

It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne. … He is a rotting carcass, … the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.

I remember once going to a(n American) Civil War battle site guided by a student with a thick German accent

I asked him why he was so interested in the Civil War. He mentioned he was studying military history in the US bc that is largely not available anywhere in Europe

We are the Skaven

Those who believe we exist are decried as fools

Believe in our presence at your own peril

Tow the Empire line and move along

should I read Peirce?
If so, what?

It took me five attempts to override autocorrect and write the name Peirce

another casualty of world building a cutthroat bureaucracy built on constant carnage is the author themself who must invest time and effort building backstories for various characters only to fell them in sacrifice to the Blood God and in service to the bloody audience
